Zapdos and Rapidash or Moltres and Jolteon?

Pollen

It buuuuuurns.
I'm playing through Firered again, and I'm just picking up pokemon I like for this time around (not planning out a team or anything).

Now my predicament is as follows:

So far I have raised a Jolteon to level 36, and I just got finished catching Zapdos. I haven't done anything special with the Jolteon yet, except for giving him Shock Wave (just for training and stuff). I like both of them. But I don't want two electric types on my team.

I haven't caught a ponyta or a moltres yet, but I have access to both. Now, I like all of these pokemon pretty much equally. And the only reason I'm not picking Jolteon/Rapidash or Zapdos/Moltres is because I want to use one legendary bird, but not both, because that's just extra rock weakness I don't need.

So, which would make for a stronger team--with appropriate given movesets--Zapdos and Rapidash or Moltres and Jolteon?

I haven't decided on their final movesets yet, but the rest of my team is/will be:

Blastoise (though i may replace with Kabutops)
Persian (Though if I can I may replace with Tauros)
Parasect
and Primeape (Probably will replace with a Hitmon)

Again, I have not finalized this team yet, so I'm not posting movesets yet.


So one last time: Which would benefit my team more? Zapdos and Rapidash or Moltres and Jolteon?

Also please give reasons why.

Thanks. And sorry for being a nuisance.
